Noordhoek is a vibrant rural and artistic community village offering a tranquil country lifestyle. Mountain hiking up Chapman's Peak and through Silvermine Nature Reserve offers an accessible wilderness experience with spectacular views over the South Peninsula. Indigenous Cape Fynbos - including groves of scarce Milkwood and Yellowwood trees cover the slopes of surrounding mountains and stretch down to the coastal plain and wetlands area. The beach, known as Long Beach, stretches for 8km of pristine white sand - meeting up with Kommetjie beach. Horse riding on this beach is not an uncommon site. Kommetjie is a rustic seaside village nestling between Slangkop Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It is very famous for its crayfishing, surfing and bird life. The name derives from "Little Bowl' the sheltered natural tidal pool which has provided holidaymakers with safe bathing since the turn of the century. Surfers all over the world have enjoyed riding the numerous excellent surf spots around Kommetjie. Despite the cold water temperatures, which require the wearing of wetsuits, Long Beach has become the Peninsula's most popular surfing beach and competition venue.........however; it is the big wave spots that have achieved international renown, with Outer Kom which is 200 metres off the lighthouse, surfable in waves up to five metres. Sunset Reef, approximately a kilometre off long Beach has been known to have waves of up to eight metres which have been ridden. Imhoff's Park offers the visitor a Nature Park.
